Valores y actitudes del ingeniero en las escuelas de ingeniería (original) (raw)

2008, … Barcelona Conference on …

The schools and faculties of engineering have to open the mind to the values in the engineering in the managerial spheres, in the departments, in the educational meetings, in the academic commissions, and in the work of the teaching staff. University has to believe in the importance and in the category of the values and attitudes (constancy, creativity, strenght, perseverance, ...). Teaching staff has to be sustained in values, has to protect, has to defend and has to transmit values, has to educate with values and in values to the new generations of professionals (sometimes, leaders). The unit UPC-Fecsa/Endesa-Endesa/Escuela de Energía "Victoriano Muñoz Oms" animates this spirit. There are many reasons in order to work in the achievement for the future engineers of a visible madurity, of an exercise of performances balanced on rights and duties, and of a vigilant attention to an ethical behaviour in the professional activities. Devoted to the engineers of the future, there are numerous arguments to promote a will of cementing, constructing, collaborating and sharing. The communication describes different representations of the word "values" and sets forth some annotations that guarantee the importance of thinking about the consideration of the values as pillars in the formation of the engineers.
